Staal for Byfuglian? Trade the bad eye for the weight problem.
- Pete V

That's another huge question he club has, will Staal be able to adjust to the blurriness in his eye? I doubt it's going to get much better than it is now.

Don't want Zidlicky or Whitney, and they should not coast anywhere near Yandle would.

honestly, if thornton got traded to the rangers..

to NYR
thornton, 2nd rounder, nick petrecki

to SJS
bourque, fast, 1st rounder in either 2015 or 2016

Lol, that doesnt seem half bad honestly.

please tell me thats a joke
- TheRussian

Here is what I will say on that. I think Brassard over the course of the next five years is going to be a better player than Joe Thornton, simply because Joe is getting long in the tooth. Over the next two years, I want Thornton, however. Thornton is an older player that is going to be a UFA next summer. Not sure if the return is going to be what it would have been if they traded him two years ago.

Didn't Thorton rip the city or the organization at some point?

Done. I think you would be better off taking Brassard and St. Croix.

i didnt mean that to sound disrespectful, i meant in the way of why would you trade a soon to be better player over joe and a promising prospect for an aging player?if i were NYR and thats what the sharks wanted i would hang up

No surprise there.

Then sign Bickell, and put him on the left side with Thornton and Nash. Hide the women and children.

NYR wouldnt move brassard

He was right.

He was right.

he said that in 11-12. he was way wrong at that time. this year, the statement was a little true

- TheRussian

I think they would... plus... if they dont move a center... they would have quite the log jam with Lindberg and St. Croix.

And Miller ... Seems like you project Miller to play the wing at the NHL level.

But a trade for Thornton would make it Thornton, Stepan, Brassard down the middle... Lindberg is a 3C with the potential to be a 2C... St. Croix is a smallish center with really nice offensive skills.

i think he is better suited as a winger

I'm fine with going Thornton, Stepan, and Brassard down the middle this year, and sorting the rest out later.

Yeah, frank him. He's not the answer, and I don't want to part with Brassard.
